Herceptin (trastuzumab) is not considered immunosuppressive in the traditional sense. Instead, it is a targeted therapy used to treat HER2-positive breast cancer by binding to the HER2 receptor on cancer cells, inhibiting their growth and promoting immune-mediated destruction of these cells. While it can impact the immune system's response to cancer, it does not broadly suppress immune function like typical immunosuppressive drugs. However, some patients may experience side effects that could affect immune responses indirectly.
